Room 5 editions in the Art Library collection
Started in 2011, this assembling project brings together pages composed and developed by students in the studio.
Taking shape in drawing, engraving, painting, collage, and digital printing processes (so some are multiple, and some are unique), these pages are not all signed or numbered, according to the author’s decision.
Like the assembling of the 1970s, these are collaborative works, for which the editor only asks for contributions and defines the number of the print run, questioning and dissolving his conventional authorial role.
Each year the publication materialises in different formats, resulting from a collaborative artistic practice, linked to a network of relationships that emerges in the school context.

Artist’s books
Not really a book, not really a work of art. Portuguese artists of various generations present these varied and unexpected objects, which are part of the Art Library collection.
